AK-47

AK-47 is a slightly Sativa leaning hybrid that was created by Simon, the founder of Serious Seeds in Holland. This strain quickly became the seed company’s “Flagship Strain”, winning multiple awards around the world and still maintaining a strong presence in today’s market. AK-47 strain was first created in The Netherlands back in 1992 by crossing four famous landrace varieties originating from Mexico, Thailand, Afghanistan, and Colombia. She was later reworked in 1999 in an effort to increase stability.

According to Serious Seeds, this strain was named in response to its heavy-hitting effects, with stories of seasoned smokers being brought to their knees throughout the coffee shop scene in Amsterdam.
